Facts[]
- One of the shittiest fathers ever seen on film
- Never heard of any recording technology more advanced than SLP-quality VHS tapes, despite recording all of his home movies in the year 2005
- Builds a sentient robot, but for some insane reason decides to remove pieces of it
- Why, you might ask? He knew he was dying, so he did this to hide one in a pier and the other in an ultra-exclusive concert venue in the infinitesimal shred of likelihood that his older daughter would somehow locate them one day and put the robot back together
- The grand prize for completing the robot? A goodbye message.
- Yeah, that's it
- Apparently, couldn't have simply left his children a goodbye message via CD, flash drive or another VHS tape at the reading of his last will and testament
- How he knew Jerrica would even keep the broken, nonfunctional robot in the first place is anyone's guess
- Remember, of course, it was inoperative in no small part because he removed parts from it to send his daughter(s) on an absurdly dangerous and pointless scavenger hunt
- Despite having two daughters, doesn't even mention or say a thing to the younger daughter in his goodbye message
- Like we said, he's a pretty terrible father
